			Setting a notable trend in design in her size range, the Ares 140’ places tender and jet skis on a forward well deck, leaving the remaining exterior decks unhindered for entertaining and relaxation.  Each of the three decks of ARES 140’ provides a different atmosphere.  An adjoining forward coach house seating area is provided for sunbathing.  The sky lounge deck has a sophisticated air, a full beam exterior for al-fresco dining and socializing, and is equipped with a 37” drop down plasma TV.  The unobstructed sundeck affords total privacy, and features a large Jacuzzi, a fully appointed bar, and a grill station.  She’s “Classic Splendor” with 21st century standards.  The use of three distinct veneers, Sapeli, Anigre and Ebony in semi and high-gloss finishes projects an ambiance both rich and warm.  Distinct fabrics enhance the wood tones throughout the vessel and accent the meticulously chosen natural stones.  Commissioned art pieces, by world-renowned artists, fill the living areas with sophistication and glamour.

An extensive refit completed in 2004 included modifying the bottom of the hull to increase speed and reduce draft, which also significantly reduced fuel consumption. <br /><br />

The exterior profile was enhanced by the addition of the flybridge deck extension, which allowed for a large covered settee space at the flybridge level and provided covered overhead space for the main deck. <br /><br />
 A crow’s nest guest seating area was added to the helm station. This modification allowed for space to be provided for a retractable sunshade over the new flybridge settee.<br /><br />
To enhance the look, complete fairings, a new paint job and a completely refurbished interior were also done.
